Ruth Simpson’s primary goal was
to make sure her nephews were in good hands.
Securing a position as a governess with their care giver was the perfect
solution. Since her sister’s disgrace
Ruth’s parents treated her worse than ever, so she knew she was risking be
disowned. Ruth was willing to take that
chance for a better life. Never in a
million years did she expect to be attracted to the handsome duke who seduced
her sister.

Being the god of war has perks
that Marcus, the Duke of Lyndhurst, enjoys.
But, it also brought problems that haunted him daily. Marcus knew the tall, elegant lady who showed
up seeking a job wasn’t being truthful, but he was curious. He needed a distraction right now, and Ruth
would do nicely. Spending time with her
was the only thing Marcus looked forward to.
If circumstances were different, Marcus would choose to have Ruth with
him forever.

Marcus and Ruth’s romance is
threatened by secrets and the interference of others. Ruth has no idea that Marcus is a god or of
the obligations he has, while Marcus is clueless about Ruth’s true
identity. Falling in love with her
nephews has Ruth confused. Part of her
wants to stay, while another part knows that staying is impossible. A life or death situation puts things in
perspective when the couple is nearly robbed of their chance to choose. I was mesmerized by the drama that unfolded
towards the end of the story. Of course
one hopes things work out for the best, but there were moments I was afraid for
Ruth and Marcus. My favorite scene was
when Marcus found Ruth after she tried leaving him. If your heart doesn’t melt after reading
that, I swear it’s made of stone.

War
Chest, the
fifth installment of the Even Gods Fall
In Love series, reminded me of the appeal of an immortal gentleman. Even with all his powers, at the end of the
day, Marcus needed what all men need, a good woman by his side. His willingness to give it all up for Ruth
was touching and selfless and I know readers will eat this up like a late night
snack.
